Aiming at maximum practicality, Mazda has released its 2022 model year edition of its CX-30 model series of crossover SUVs with all the necessary features tucked under its roof.

The CX-30 as a compact crossover model slots between both its siblings, the CX-3, and the CX-5. But in comparison to both, the 2022 CX-30 model features a greater number of technologies applied to its various sections. All this enable the Mazda crossover to deliver a refined ride quality and better performance. Here we must mention the fact that back in the year 2020, Mazda has introduced a new turbocharged 2.5L engine to power the CX-30 models released for the 2021 model year. It was duly placed right beside the standard 2.5L NA engine. The said lineup year also saw the turbo-4 engine picking up a speed of 0-60 mph in merely 5.8 seconds, reported an auto journalist at the gallery of the Mazda dealer serving Tempe and Phoenix.

This engine is coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission that carries the engine power to the front-wheels by default. This combination of power elements is set as the standard across the entire lineup of the 2022 Mazda CX-30 series.
However, the lineup also hosts a 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 engine for the keen drivers to get their models equipped with 227 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft of torque.
